Western Bay of Plenty's Community Resilience Fund
We've now given $121,200 to 17 Western Bay community groups struggling to fund projects as a result of COVID-19 - and there's still a further $178,800 to allocate.
📷: The Katikati Community Centre has received $8486 from the Community Resilience Fund. COVID-19 meant the cancellation of all adult education and holiday programmes, after school care and room users - resulting in a big income loss for the centre. The money will fund video conferencing software and provide flexibility for offering online adult education courses.

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank
Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing
You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.
If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
